I was provided an advanced copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So good! As a teacher, this is i credibly helpful. It gave me great insights to other enneagram types, as well as how to best communicate with them.

I've taken personality tests in the past, but was curious about Enneagram types. This is a good reference for determining your Enneatype and how it impacts your life and needs.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great guide to help me understand more about what my enneagram is! I am enneagram 9 and it gave me such insight into what that means for me and how it affects my everyday life.

About two years ago, I got into learning more about enneagrams and this book was very well written. Loved the illustrations and the great deal of information it contained.

Sadly, I was unable to download this book in time before it was archived and this I was not able to either read or review it. My apologies.

Great enneagram book! I like the illustrations and activities but I think that it definitely helped that I had read several enneagram books before and knew my type. Great resource!

This was a great book to dive into learning more about enneatypes! I have read some here and there but the information just didn't stick. This book though is so engaging with it's graphics and easy to understand format. The authors provide tools to use and teach you how to apply it to "the real world." Great overall read. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A simple, but perfect book for anyone wanting to know more about Enneagram theory. It is also a very visually pleasing book, which makes it all that more enjoyable to engage in.

I have often heard of the Enneagram and knew the basics but this book helped me have a more thorough understanding and explained some of the questions I had. Easy to understand and enjoyed it.

I think it will help anyone who wants to find out more.

As someone who is already a big fan of the Enneagram, I found this book well organized and visually appealing to read - the written content is punctuated with helpful diagrams and charts providing summary information and examples. This would be an appropriate book for someone brand new to the Enneagram, but I found it informative as someone who is already familiar with it.

This is a great book for anyone that wants to learn about Enneagram. The book is easy to understand. The author, Liz Carver, does a great job giving detailed descriptions. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

I've read many books about the enneagram, and this is one of the best. It is accessible enough for someone who is new to the topic, but I still found new information inside. I like that they covered subtypes and stances, which are often overlooked in the less esoteric ennegram books. The layout of this book is fantastic. Clean and colorful in a way that accentuates the points that the authors are making.

What’s Your Enneatype by Liz Carver and Josh Green, of the Instagram account @justmyenneatype, is an attractive and accessible primer on the Enneagram personality types. It has a bright, colorful layout, with each of the nine types receiving a corresponding color code, and charts and illustrations are used throughout to illustrate the concepts. Carter and Green use simple, succinct explanations for describing each of the types and the conceptual elements of understanding the types better: wings, subtypes, triads, shadow sides, stances, and integration & disintegration, among others. There’s an attractively consistent format of topics and illustrations for each type. I found both the format and writing easy to read and understand (although my advanced digital copy required lots of scrolling and zooming, so I’m not sure how it will present in print. Hopefully less magnification required.). Also, as a note, while Enneagram is often heavily used by Christian writers, this book avoids any specifically religious language and as such should be a comfortable and accessible read for people of any faith.

This book contains positive but realistic type descriptions, that offer encouragement but also advice and warnings. Carver and Green don’t just teach about what the types mean, but the ways in which they can vary in presentation, how they can change under stress or with personal growth, internal lies and doubts that each type may fall prey to, and weaknesses to avoid. There is a self check-in chart for each type to help determine how the type is manifesting at the moment. Each chapter also includes advice for those who love someone of that type on how to maximize their relationship with the person.

The book ends on a very practical note, reminding readers to use the Enneagram for its benefits, without falling into the trap of using types as excuses for bad behavior, of feeling limited by the parameters of types, or of forcing Enneagram types onto others, either by going around mentally assigning types to everyone you encounter, or by pressuring those around you to use Enneagram themselves. But the authors don’t just warn; they also encourage, reminding readers that it’s OK to ask for help, and that it’s important to be kind and give yourself grace when you make mistakes.

What’s Your Enneatype is a practical and succinct summary of many of the concepts involved in Enneagram personality types. As such, it’s not incredibly in-depth or involved. It is instead a great introductory text for those interested in learning more about the Enneagram, about what the types are and how to use them. I wish there was a bibliography with additional recommended reading resources, but perhaps there is one in the final print addition. If you already have a strong familiarity with Enneagram, you may not find this book very helpful, but if you’re looking for a balanced and accessible starting point, this could be just the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and will be looking for more (more in-depth) books on the topic in the future.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Fair Winds Press/ Quarto for allowing me to read a free temporary digital advanced readers copy of #WhatsYourEnneatypeAnEssentialGuidetotheEnneagram . This is my honest opinion.

Simple yet so insightful.
It is truly the simplicity of "What's Your Enneatype" that makes it so amazing for a beginner who wants to learn more about the Enneagram theory! I personally learned a lot from this book. The reasons why I deducted a star are because (1) I felt like it dwelled too much on each individual type in each section and should've rather spent some of that time on information about the Enneagram as a whole and (2) while I liked the mood of the writing style, it just wasn't my thing. It probably resonates more with those 30+? I don't know, maybe it's the references to wine and yoga that kind of threw me off. 😂 Overall, this was a great read that taught me a lot. I highly recommend this as a beginner's book on the Enneagram or for someone to use as a reference book to look back on. 🙂

I had just started looking at human factors and personality types when I read this, interesting basic guide. I think it helps with insight to self.

This is a SUPER interesting book that covers all enneagrams in great detail. I am new to the world of enneagrams and spent so much time completely soaking up this book. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in this method of self-discovery and improvement.

First of all, I really adored the layout of this book. It is well designed throughout. Each enneatype is broken down in great details with great headings! I enjoyed reading about my own type as well my husband's, and having a pretty good discussion about it. While I don't enjoy speculating other people's personality type and making judgements about them, I do enjoy learning about myself and people around me in order for us to better communicate with each other. Overall I found this book a very good read!

I recently took an enneatype / enneagram test after seeing lots of posts shared on Instagram about corresponding characters from movies and personality traits. I took one of the more popular tests and have to say, I like it a lot more than the traditional Myers-Briggs result. Thus, I was excited to see this book was an option for review, especially considering that the authors are behind some of the popular content. There is something fun and engaging about discovering facets of your personality, even if you think it's a bit difficult to paint everyone with broad strokes. The hype around enneagrams actually, in my opinion, is a reflection of how much we all love to explore psychology and try to understand what makes us.... us.

This is why I like this book: it's like taking the test and then getting the add-ons for free. Like, the little parts of the profile that the tests want you to pay to access? Like the job, relationships, and weaknesses/strengths portions. How you can improve your life. That's the self-help part of the book, but it's also part of the fun of enneagrams.

I suggest this book to anyone that ever found personality trait tests interesting, even if they're wary of self-help as a genre. It's like an extension to the test!

This is something that can easily be found online. I didn’t find any more interesting or informative than an average google search. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this unless it’s for someone that is really interested in enneagrams.
